[Q] Will my phone work in UK & Europe - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i phone, unlocked.
The specifications are:
Specification: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA BAND 1/4/8
Here is my question:
I am planning to travel to UK & Europe next month. 1 Will this phone work on in UK & Europe? 2 Will this phone support 3G or 4G network in UK & Europe? 3 What are my options with phone in UK & Europe? What network will this phone support?
Thanks

Here is a question, r u switching sim cards or r u keeping ur current one?
If u arent swictching u should be fine if ur network says u will have coverage.
If u are switching sim cards, post back with yes to switching and i will give u a link to a website to sim unlocking a x10, but u have to pay.

[q] wcdma phone

Hi all, I am a complete noob with it comes down the wcdma vs gsm. I want to buy a xperia x10 on amazon but all i am seeing is wcdma. what i want to know is can a wcdma xperia phone use a gsm simcard?
Thanks
wcdma is aka 3g and gsm is 2g so a sim card will work on it
Thanks just wanted to make sure, because my country uses mostly gsm phone and i am see pretty good deals on the xperia x10. but the comments are saying wcdma/gsm. dont want to buy and the phone causes problems.

[Q] Bell Mobility Compatibility

[+w w w.] ebay.ca/itm/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-Mini-Pro-SK17i-White-SimFree-Phone-/220839273164?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item336b0be2cc
I'm looking for the Xperia Mini Pro, but to work on the Bell Mobility Network, and I'm incredibly confused now, how many versions there are of this phone on ebay.
Will the link above be able to work with Bell Mobility?
My friend has the 900/2100 version, and the sim is actively rejected, and I don't want to have that problem =)
Thanks.
afaik the phones supports every band. Could it be possible that you friend uses a simlocked device/sim?
The big amount of these phones on ebay results certainly of the strange way of naming the devices as the previos version was the xperia x10 mini pro. The current on is the same name without x10. Without pro are the devices without hardware keyboard etc.
You should search for sk17i what is the working name of the xperia mini pro and your results should be better
Greetings, Klaus
I don't think it's sim locked because she bought it in Hong Kong, and I can get a 2G signal on it with my Rogers sim card, but when she tries using her Bell sim card it actively refuses it.
I called bell and they said that the phone is not on the same band as their network.
My guess is because Bell doesn't use GSM, but uses HSPDA.
I think the Sk17 has two versions, the SK17 and the SK17i, and perhaps another one. One is quad band, one is tri band and the other is duo band.
To work on Bell or Telus in Canada requires SK17a model, SK17i will not work since as Bell rep told you, the latter is not on the correct band (requires UMTS/WCDMA/3G on 850/1900, the "i" has 900/2100).
Related question—how about T-Mobile in the US? I just bought a Mini Pro, but it seems like it drops the network every couple of minutes before picking it back up. My old G1 used to work perfectly in the same location, so it shouldn't be a reception issue...
Hey there.
I bought a sim locked SK17a from Rogers.
Went to one of those GSM stores in Vancouver, and got a carrier unlock code for $50.
Phone sim unlocked, and can use the Bell network.
Had to manually enter the APN details to access 3G, when I inserted my Bell Sim.

Hi I too have Motorola Atrix from At&t network unlocked currently using in o2-de. I have full 3g and 2g connectivity in Germany. And also I remember while travelling through Italy this summer had full 2g support there. So if the 3g services in Italy use the frequency band as in Germany u should be fine. But my guess is they are same and hence there should not be any problem.

thanks!
I have att version in Sweden and broke screen. Found out that no euro companies will fix us version. Had to send back to us to get fixed. This can take well over a month. Just beware!

Running an att atrix 4g in Slovenia, as of the 2.3.4 update all works fine (on 2.2.2 wifi stopped working in conjunction with mobile signal - long story, but Slovenia specific), so ye you shouldnt have any issues. Regarding fixing the phone, apparently Motorola UK does it for att atrixes aswell.
Another one running fine in Spain and UK.
Regarding roms, you must keep in mind that your phone is still the ATT model, so whenever you must apply device-specific patches (radios, etc), choose the ATT one.
I got this phone in September, and since then I've been in 6 different European countries. Worked perfectly everywhere In Italy I got a TIM sim card, had hdspa on all the time. You'll be fine, it's an excellent phone, the best purchase you can make
Have you already considered the European Atrix sold on Expansys? I bought it there and am very happy with it. You get a phone that is (hopefully) designed for Europe and coming with a "Retail" System and radio. Works very well in Italy.

Question about Xperia Acro S on T-Mobile USA

I'd been wanting to buy the Xperia Acro S since it's been announced. But before I buy it, I want to know if there's any trouble making a phone calls or anything with this phone on the T-Mobile USA network? I wonder what sort of network can I get? my Xperia x10 gets 3G, but Neo only gets 2G.
Also, I heard there is a US version to be released soon, but I wonder if there is a major difference between the US version or the International version? if not, then I won't have to wait around but buy the Intl. version asap.

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

It will work fine, Tmobile covers all those frequencies including 1900.
Just to update it does work fine.

[Q] No network on Unlocked titan 2

Hello guyz
I suggested my bro to buy a titan 2 so he bought maniacstore DOT COM (forums not allowing to post links)
so he agreed as the phone was unlocked & the specs were great at this price point
He got the phone today but the problem is whenever he inserts his sim (NOT mini sim) he doesnt gets any network, im damn sure the phone is unlocked bcoz it doesnt asks for unlock code when he enters his TATA DOCOMO sim card...yes, we live in India
I've searched the web but with no luck so finally i saw no other choice than asking experts like u guyz...plz help i dont want to get blamed
PS:- will hard reset work...i read somewhere on web about this
there were 2 instances where he got network & then it again disappeared
Do you have LTE-network in India? What band widths do have? These are the networks the phone is compatible with:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G - UMTS/HSDPA
UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
and 4G LTE

A word of the wise...a carrier with one star average from 329 reviews from this web site would have me take notice if I were you; next here in the US and many other places there is eBay...one of the things I've learned along the way is what a company is selling or advertising is not always the truth. You need to find out if this phone is "clean". You need to find out what the network specs are for this carrier and if they are compatible with the Titan II and please do your homework. I never heard of this carrier until now; I did a Google Search and found this - http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/tata-docomo-mobile-operator-reviews-925107377 and this - http://www.tatadocomo.com/customer-care.aspx
You have try with HTC Connection Setup?
##3282# >>setings >> Network type >> 2G only or 3G only.
I have a htc titan 2 in CLARO Colombia and was working form arround a month and now doesn't work , i have tried in the 3 companies, claro, movistar and tigo
any suggestions
thanks!
Perhaps your phones have been IMEI blacklisted? By the way does anyone knows where can I buy an HTC Titan 2? This model never got launched here in Europe. Cheers
